messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 26 The New King at Dawn

Arrows rained across the sky, shooting unnamed people, causing their hot blood to flow out of their chests.

Swords and spears criss-crossed, and crowds of people who had never even met each other killed each other for their own lives.

The horseshoe stepped on the ground with the sharp claws of the ornithosaurus, trampling over the still warm corpse.

There were buzzing in the ears, and no one could hear whose voice it was.

At first glance, all of this looks so much like the Wasteland of the Apostles, almost exactly the same, even the shape of the pervading evil is the same.The same ferocity, the same makes the people in it terrified.

However, this is exactly what Chu is best at, killing other lives in such a place.

When Hillman nodded slightly to her, he looked towards the battlefield for the first time.

Her numb black and white eyes were exposed under the dark and cold helmet, and she drew the black sword at her waist.

The same evil and ferocity as this battlefield, a disturbing aura appeared on her body.

······
During the fight, a Forster soldier felt something, stopped and turned his head.

He saw not far away, a black figure walking towards him, that black figure had a red eye, and held a sword dripping with blood.

"Black Knight..." The soldier fixed his eyes and whispered a name.

The next moment, his head flew into the air.

The black knight is also known as the beheaded knight, because according to legend, she beheaded hundreds of people in an instant in her first battle, on the battlefield of King Plainn.

Chu Chu walked past the head that fell at her feet, and beside her, a soldier in Mantern armor raised a long sword and slashed at her.

She didn't look back, and the sword in her hand turned into a spear under the incredible sight of the soldiers.

The spear pierced through Mantern's soldier's chest and lifted his body up. Blood flowed down the body and soaked into the soil.

The soldiers around all took a step back, but the black knight had no intention of stopping and drew out his spear.

The body fell to the ground, and the knight rushed into the crowd.

Soldiers of Forster and Mantern tried to stop them, but their spears and swords could not pierce the knight's armor.

The arrows shot could not catch up with her footsteps, and the magic could only leave wisps of black smoke on her body.

All they could do was watch the person in front of them being killed by the knight and fall to the ground, and then roaring with all their strength, charged forward.

Led by the Black Knight and Sword Saint Roland, Reinhardt's soldiers are invincible.

The First and Manterns retreated steadily, and under the command of their king, they reorganized their formations again and again to defend the front.

Perhaps in the future, this war, the people who died in these wars, and what happened in these wars will be recorded and become an article in the history books, or a magnificent poem in the mouth of a bard.

But now, for the people in this war, what they are doing is just sacrificing their lives.

······
This war lasted for a long time, and it didn't end even after nightfall. People continued to fight in the dark.

It wasn't until the eastern sky shimmered and the world slowly lit up again that they could see the surrounding scene clearly.

The corpse with lost eyesight fell on the ground, covering the hills, the blood stained the soil of the hills red and black, and the blood on the ground, which had not penetrated into the ground, soaked the soles of people's feet.

Vultures and crows hovered in the sky, and black birds covered the sky, waiting to peck at the corpses everywhere.

People stood there dumbfounded, looking around, watching everything they did.

Only then did they see clearly what they had done.

Some people were still fighting, some were still roaring hoarsely, some fell powerlessly among the corpses, silently looking at the mottled sky with faint light.

The kings of First and Mantern had already died in the fighting, but some of the living soldiers were still fighting and resisting.

The day is coming, the dawn is coming.

Chu stood in the middle of the pile of corpses, wiping the blood on the sword with her hands, she couldn't remember how many people she killed, she just raised her head and continued to look for the enemy.

At this moment, among the corpses, she saw a person standing on the hill.

Hillman rode her white steed and wore a crown.

At this time, she was not as elegant as usual, her long blond hair was a little messy, her face was stained with blood, her robe and the bright red cloak behind her were slightly black, and she was holding Reinhardt's royal sword in her hand, the blade was stained with blood .

She also joins the battlefield, she is not a king who only hides behind soldiers.

Although she was not good at fighting, which made her look a little embarrassed, her eyes were still proud.

Hillman stood on the hill, overlooking the entire battlefield, the dead, and First and Mantern who were still resisting.

Finally, she raised her long sword, pointing the blade straight at the sky.

As the wind howled, she stood facing the wind, panting slightly.

Then, she shouted loudly to everyone.

"I, in the name of Reinhardt von Hillmann, in the name of the Lionheart Queen, and in the name of the Reinhardt Empire, command you, here, to offer your allegiance to me!"

It should be the effect of magic, making her voice echo on the hills, and it lingers for a long time.

Everyone heard her voice, people turned their heads, looked at the hill, looked at the queen.

As everyone watched silently, the clouds in the sky broke apart.

The first ray of sunlight after the long night pierced through the dark clouds, fell towards the hill, and landed on the long sword that Hillman held high.

At that moment, the light was shining brightly.

Dawn breaks, illuminating the new king.

Facing the dazzling light, Hillman shouted again.

"I, in the name of Reinhard von Hillmann!"

Staring at the brilliance, one soldier slowly lowered his weapon, and then more and more soldiers dropped their weapons on the ground.

"In the name of the Lionheart Queen!"

The soldiers knelt down silently.

"In the name of the Reinhardt Empire!"

Countless people knelt on the ground, among the countless corpses, facing the queen above the hill and under the sky.

"I order you, here! Give me your allegiance! Surrender to me!"

The ground was full of kneeling people, and the queen stood in the center, holding a long sword that was shining with light.

The light made the vultures and crows scream and flee in all directions.

Hillman looked at the kneeling people and took a deep breath.

She knew that a new world had arrived.

She raised her head and looked towards the dawn, and the light occupied her sight, like a revelation from the gods.

After a long time, she said softly.

"And I, will forgive your sins, and grant you glory and prosperity."

This is her promise, and she will definitely bring glory and prosperity to this continent.
